Enchante, Cupid's Last Wish, Star in My Mind, Sky in Your Heart, Vice Versa, The Eclipse. Plus several non-BL series like Astrophile, Mama Gogo, PS I Hate You... They've produced a LOT of series so far.

The mock trailer for Midnight Chicken didn't really imply any relationship between their characters --in fact, they showed another side pairing there--, but it can change as they're developing the series and I hope it does. I think that was what happened with DanYok in Not Me. They weren't really meant to be a couple in the first idealization of the series but the director liked the chemistry between the actors and decided to make them one. I could be talking nonsense tho lol, but that's what I read.

Right. But are the comments here that inaccurate with how the show has been presented? TessTun were more captivating when they were on screen because 1. they're Ohm and Nanon, so even if we brush aside the Bad Buddy nostalgia, they're leagues above Jimmy and Sea acting wise (which makes sense, since they're experienced) and with one stare they had the chemistry that JimmySea just don't have and 2. their characters had a previous connection that was mysterious enough to ignite more interest from the audience than whatever was going on for Talay and Puen, characters we didn't know much about. It makes sense that people were drawn to that at first, even if it does indeed feel like a rehash of Bad Buddy's motif. Moving on from that, the show just doesn't do a lot to lead us into the main characters. They're like a blank canvas, even until this point in the story. Too little personality and charm. The show looks good, but it lacks substance. The scifi aspect was brushed aside for basic fanservice and there's no sense for urgency and tension, the things you'd expect the most from a show that involves two characters that switched bodies with people from a whole other universe!! A story like this demands adrenaline and this show has none of that. Why are these guys trying to make a movie??Even if the story picks up from now on, I still think it's a bit too late, considering they didn't even do the basic job that was giving the mains some solid characterization. I hate to compare and I don't even think The Eclipse is anywhere near a perfect show, but if you take a look at it, it becomes soooo clear what a show with solid characters looks like in contrast to this one, that has very bland ones. MyDramaList is indeed harsh, but I think there's been several valid points people have written about Vice Versa. Let's not mistake constructive criticism for hate.

The reception for The Eclipse seems very positive tho? Even here on MDL where people are usually a bit too harsh with shows.

I think the "fixing" parallel was not that Vee was supposed to fix himself, but fix the situation with Mark instead. He thought the scooter was ruined forever and that buying a new one was better, but his father convinced him that fixing it was still good and the same, in this case, applies to his relationship with Mark. The point is that he shouldn't give up.

Honestly while it was never anything special, I could say I was enjoying the series for what it was. But when they made Prince being a damsel in distress that needs a man taking care of him all the time the main conflict it all went downhill. Ridiculous. How dare Fah have a job and not be able to take care of poor fragile Prince! Come on. And then the Sincere guy comes up like "oh I can take care of Prince, unlike you that has patients to take care of". Wow congrats you have no life other than being obsessed with a man, I guess! The characters are full grown adults, yet the show acts like they're teenagers. If you want to deliver a story with adults, then make the characters act like adults. It was still better than Star in My Mind tho.

KinnPorsche?

what about it?

"I don't see any development or that he worked on himself". That's probably the conclusion. He thought he would do better with himself being apart from Seojoon (he thought SJ would do better too) and that's just not the case. He's still sad, miserable and on the verge of losing the love of his life. So I think him understanding this and fighting for the right thing is the development he needs. He can work on himself while being with Seojoon, who could also try to help him with that. He just needs to open his mouth and speak lol. I hope I'm not being too hopeful.

hi what's the tea on him being homophobic?

I didn't even know we can block people here. I feel so much lighter now :3

No offense, but the same way you and others here have deemed this as a failure, there are many other people out there giving out essays on why this is an absolute masterpiece. I don't think it's either (not even CLOSE to a masterpiece btw), but my point is: there are many point of views and you don't really own the "truth" like you seem to think.

There is a sequence in episode 7(?) literally dedicated to showing how Jiwoo felt lonely in the relationship and he explains it with all words, with shots of him in those situations. Maybe there could be more? Maybe earlier? Yeah maybe. But it's definitely there. I see this show tries to get its message across in a very subdued way. Maybe they should have made things clearer.

What a beauty! It's very simple, almost like there's not much going on, but the irresistible dynamics between the leads make it so worth watching, as well as the nice side-characters. The setting with the beach and the light color schemes bring so much peace. I loved everything. I'm a sucker for these simple dramas and also japanese, at that! And once again, I'm in love with Kura Yuki.

I wonder if they planned this plot knowing that such a big part of the audience would just not root for the couple at all.

I'm pretty sure the restaurant being named "ti aspetto" (in italian) means it's directed at Seojoon bc Seojoon has history with Italy and he would understand the meaning right away (although I think he didn't).

I don't think MyDramaList is the place to be calling out people on their personal lives. Keep your energy on dragging Jiwoo, if you want to drag someone.

This comment section is very entertaining.

Me too!! It was a pleasure :))

What a hard question!! I guess the awkward kiss at least shows that the producers are willing to show real kissing in their KBL, while the lip touch is just tragic all around.
